In order to correctly count the music you play, it helps to write in the counting beneath the notes and rests. This is easy to do.
EACH HALF-BEAT IS REPRESENTED BY ONE WRITTEN SYMBOL (either a number or +). THEREFORE, IN ONE
MEASURE OF 4/4 TIME, YOU WILL ALWAYS WRITE: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +. When you see +, say and.
Study the line below. Then clap the rhythm while counting aloud.

UNIT
Chords are derived from scales. The scale is built first and chords are then
constructed on each of the seven pitches of the scale. The basic chord is called
a TRIAD.
A TRIAD IS A CHORD CONSISTING OF THREE NOTES.
FIFTH: this note is a fifth above the root.
THIRD: this note is a third above the root.
ROOT: the note on which the chord is built.
You know that the distance from one note to
another is called an INTERVAL. You have already
used whole and half-step intervals to construct
major scales. Two new intervals, the third and
fifth, will be found by counting FROM THE CHORD
ROOT. Follow the steps.

1 To find the third: say the letter name of the root and the following
two notes. The third note you named is a THIRD above the root
(measures 1 and 3 below).
2 To find the fifth: say the letter name of the root and the following
four notes. The fifth note you named is a FIFTH above the root
(measures 2 and 4 below).

Now stack up the ROOT, THIRD and FIFTH to create the TRIAD. These are called ROOT POSITION triads because the root is on
the bottom of the chord with the third and fifth above it. Notice that all root position triads are lined up on either consecutive
lines or consecutive spaces. There are no exceptions.
